PHILADELPHIA—The Cherry and White will wrap up their nearly month-long road stretch at Maryland's Terrapin Invitational on Sunday. Temple will head to College Park, Md. to take on the Terrapins as well as ECAC foes Penn, William & Mary and Yale. Competition is set to begin at 1 p.m.

The Owls
> The Owls are led by head coach Josh Nilson, who is in his second season leading the Cherry and White.
> Last time out, the Cherry and White scored a season-high 195.075 at George Washington's quad meet. This score, which tied the fourth-highest mark in program history, was backed by a stellar bars rotation. All four teams were within one point, led by NC State's 196.025, followed by George Washington (195.900), Northern Illinois (195.450) and Temple.
> Temple had its best performance on bars Sunday afternoon. The Owls ended the meet with an outstanding bars rotation, going a season-high 49.3. This score was their highest on the event in 16 years and ranks as the second-best bars score in program history. Todd started the momentum, leading off the lineup with a season-best 9.8. After a fall, Temple rallied as the next four gymnasts (Garin, Tori Edwards, Estrella and Ariana Castrence) all scored 9.875's. The 9.875's gave all four Owls a share of the event title and were career-best marks for Garin, Edwards and Castrence.
> Castrence, Garin, senior Jaylene Everett and junior Jordyn Oster all hold places in the top three of the ECAC individual rankings. Castrence is first in the conference on vault, bars and in the all-around. She also ranks second on beam. Garin owns the top spot in the beam rankings.
